SloveniaArantxa Sánchez Vicario, a former top tennis player who won four Grand Slam tournaments, has faced significant financial difficulties and legal challenges after losing much of her wealth. Once a world number one and earning tens of millions during her career, she now owes millions in debts and faces court proceedings. She claims she did not manage her finances herself, relying on her ex-husband José Santacano, who managed their family finances. The Spanish Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that she owed taxes due to residency discrepancies, and later, she was convicted of fraud related to a loan from Banque de Luxembourg. She received a two-year prison sentence, which she avoided by repaying the debt. Her ex-husband received a longer sentence. Sánchez Vicario stated that half of her income goes toward repaying her debts and admitted the situation had a severe psychological impact on her.
